Yes it is finally happening !!! Fenced off in 6ft cyclone with 240 lineal metre's by 1metre wide garden beds. Specialising in JM, TM, JBP, Radiata,some aussie natives and various exotic yamadori. The first 75mts are almost planted out. We will be learning more as we go , however our passion for truth and excellence will prevail in our quest !!! We look forward to delivering, possibly some of the best stock this country's seen. I will post results and progressions as i have the time and see fit. Book mark this one kids !!!
These Yamadori ash are not shot from the fronts. They all do have excellent character and movement !!!

This is just one japanese maple, pot grown from seed for 3 yrs, with an excellent spread and flare.

A couple of rows of tridents and JMp's, some whips some pre grown and trained in pots. Oh and a bad arse yamadori plum in the back ground.

I would like to introduce you all to Caine Barry. This young man is the future of Australian Bonsai. All of 13 yrs old and he just gets it !!! In just a few hours he prepped over 20 trees for me to plant out. He instantly can see where the tree is and also give you a couple of options. If there is no tree he'll tell you, you need to push low buds. I was excited and inspired to work along side this young man yesterday.

Ah, so this is why you had been quiet

I am sure under your care, these will turn out great.
Antonio, might I suggest some grafted white pine as well? I know the stocks are expensive.
Please send my best regards to master Barry.
Cheers.

Hey gang, we planted out a bunch of pre trained Jbp's and radiata's yesterday. Also a bunch of yama Hawthorn's. Here are a couple of 3 yr old Jbp seedlings that have been in training a little over 12 months.

That wire ain't coming out! How are the roots on the JBP? I find that to be the part most lacking on most JBP nursery stock
